[Ueno] Motsuyaki Nikomi Kaede Okachimachi Opens July 23!

Overview

On July 23, 2026, Motsuyaki Nikomi Kaede Okachimachi opened a 3-minute walk from Okachimachi Station. A motsuyaki restaurant long loved in Kinshicho now has a new location in the Ueno–Okachimachi area. The restaurant is on the 1st floor of the GB Building in Ueno 3-chome, Taito-ku.

Kinshicho, home of the main restaurant, is known for its deep-rooted, old-school drinking culture. A motsuyaki spot with a long following there has now opened in Ueno–Okachimachi, another area with a strong shitamachi (old downtown) feel. That's good news for anyone who enjoys bar-hopping in the neighborhood.

The big draw here is the very fresh offal. Freshness makes or breaks motsuyaki, and the focus on it shows the care you'd expect from a place loved in Kinshicho for so long. Beyond offal there's a wide range of other skewers, so the menu suits both motsuyaki traditionalists and people who like to try a little of everything. As "nikomi" in the name suggests, the stew is worth a try too. Alongside motsuyaki, it's a staple of Japan's casual izakaya.

The interior is warm and homey. Whether you drop in alone or spend an evening talking with good friends, the relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere is part of the fun of a motsuyaki joint. It works for everything from a drink after work to a weekend get-together.

Expect to spend ¥3,000–¥3,999 for both dinner and lunch. A lunch price range means you can visit at any time of day, not just in the evening.

The location is convenient too. Okachimachi Station is only a 3-minute walk away, so meeting up is easy and you don't have to worry about catching the last train. The restaurant is in Ueno 3-chome, handy for a break while shopping or exploring Ueno–Okachimachi, or to end your day there. The Okachimachi area is also packed with places to eat and drink, which makes Kaede a good first or second stop on a bar crawl.

Motsuyaki Nikomi Kaede Okachimachi brings the flavors of a well-known Kinshicho restaurant to Ueno–Okachimachi. Stop by for fresh offal and a wide range of skewers in a homey setting.
